Eia no ka uku la, o ka wa’a. [63]

[Translation.]

Password—Song

In the uplands, the darting flame-bird of La’a,

While smoke and mist blur the woodland,

Is keen for the breath of frost-bitten flowers.

A fickle flower is man—

A trick this not native to you.

Come thou with her who is calling to thee;

A call to the man to come in
